This pic is so awesome

Austin Reaves is all craft and change-of-pace. It's why he gets to the line so often and is so good at creating separation for floaters & mid-range stuff.

Ok let's agree to disagree. Reaves is not a player I would want Tristen to play like. He also sucks on defense to where you can't play him at times.

Is Newton the best 2-year player we've ever had? (Yes, I know coming in as a senior instead of as a freshman makes a difference, but still.)

Comparisons to current NBA players aside; considering TN's size and shooting ability I see no reason why in today's NBA he can't contribute a few quality backup minutes each game at the one, two and three.

I've been baffled for more than a year on his projections of going undcrafted last year (big win for us) and much of what I saw this year until recently.

The one comp to Brunson that I will make is that he will turn out to be far more if an NBA player than the draft gurus, who were blinded by whatever, could comprehend.

Can Alex be photoshopped into that pic?

Zoom in under T's right arm, you see him running over. Not perfect, but he's in there.

This speaks to me

Do you have the high res version of this photo? Id like to do something similar

Unfortunately I don’t I had a couple of prints made but res is low. too bad. Still very indicative snapshot of one for all team mentality that drove their success

Alex left out again. My guy.

Alex is a solid player, but he always seemed like the "Ringo" in UConn's Fab 5 starting rotation - UConn's best of all-time.

That second picture is awesome. Speaks volumes about the players and program.

Love that picture

Got ya. Ok thanks for the response

Honestly, that second one has me tearing up a bit.

Can certainly understand why. First, it highlights in a quick photo shot the unselfish teamwork that encompassed this team the entire season. But more than that it shows three for sure and more than likely all four who will not be here next year.

Not comparing him to Brunson. Brunson surely isn't an elite athlete and is shorter than Newton. Defintly different types of game but both can score in crowded places in the paint. Obviously Newton will have to improve his shot but he can definitely carve out a spot in the NBA with his size, ability to rebound, assist, his moxxy and ability to score inside as well as make jumpers,

I agree, was watching Knicks Celt’s and have watched a number of other Kick games. Tristen compares favorably to Jalen in athletic juice.
